Vice President of Data Analytics
Rippling lets you effortlessly manage your employees’ payroll, benefits, devices, apps, and more—in one place. Rippling is the only workforce platform that brings all of your employee data—not just pieces of it—into one unified record. That way, you don’t have to reconcile and enter data in 100 different systems. This approach creates “magic moments” where data across HR, IT, and Finance systems can be combined in ways that have never been available to customers before. As a company, we take a lot of pride in the value that good data creates for our customers. We are excited to build out our internal data science and data analytics capabilities to add even more value to the customer experience. The Vice President of Data Analytics will scale the business intelligence, data analytics, and data science capabilities of the team.

This person will structure the team for successful partnerships with the various functional leads across R&D, S&M, CX and Operations, and G&A.
